At the eastern tip of Île de la Tortue lies Plage Pointe Saline, a beach that lives up to its reputation as the island's most stunning. Here, the sand is not just white; it's a brilliant, almost blinding white, stretching for what feels like miles and contrasting dramatically with the vibrant turquoise and sapphire hues of the Caribbean Sea. The clarity of the water is exceptional, inviting you to wade in and feel the soft, silty bottom beneath your feet.
